PATENT FREDERICK MVQTUROK., OF VNEIN YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR, BY MESNEASSIGN- MENTS, OF ONE-HALF TO MABEL TRACY, OF SAME PLACE.

NUMBERED MANIFOLD-BOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 651,171, dated June 5,1900.

Application filed May 27, 1899. Serial No. 718,541. (No model.)

To all whom, zit may concern.' v

Be it known that I, FREDERICK M. TURCK, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in NumberedManifold-Books, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to numbered mani- Io fold-books in which looseleaves are placed into a holder or otherwise secured to the cover of abook; and the objects of my invention are, first, to simplify theprocess of manufacture of numbered manifold or otherbooks;

I5 second, to facilitate the handling, and, third,

to insure accuracy in the numbering, as be- Y ing manufactured in onepiece the books will be more reliable than would be the case ifmanufactured and shipped separately.

zo My invention will be hereinafter fully described, and specificallyset forth in the anneXed claims.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figurel is a face :5 view of the combined book. Fig. 2 is a perspective viewof same, showing the top leaf turned over. Fig. 3 is a face view of apart of said book, showing the difference in construction when the sameis used for duplicate copies.

In the practice of my invention a book A, with printed blanks of anydesirable form, consisting, preferably, of twenty-five leaves, is boundtogether by staples O C or otherwise.

3 5 Each leaf is divided into five spaces by means of perforations B,B2, B?, and B4. The first portion D of the leaves of the book A has bothof its sides numbered as follows: The upper face of the bottom sheet isnumbered l,

4o the sheet on top of it is numbered 2 on its upper face, and so on,when the number 25 will appear on the top leaf, as shown in Fig.

l of the drawings. The under face of the top sheet of portion D will benumbered 26, as shown in Fig. 2, but in an opposite or reversed positiontoward the number 25. The sheet underneath that will be numbered 27, andso on, when the number will appear on the under face of the bottomsheet, 5o and the said bottom sheet will be numbered l on one side and50 on the other side.

The next section, embracing portions D/ and D2, is numbered from l to 25consecutively, as shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings.

It is optional whether the numbers be printed 5 5 on one or both sides,the object being that each division shall have a number. The sectionembracing D3 and D4 is numbered from 26 to 50 consecutively, as shown inFig. 2, in the same way and for the same pur- 6o pose as alreadydescribed.

This book is adapted to be used for duplit cate and triplicate copies,is very simple to manufacture, and on account of its being made anddelivered to the consumer in one piece it is much more reliable thanwere it made and delivered in sections.

In use the portion D is separated from the sections D' D2 and D3 D4 onthe line of perforation B and becomes a record-book, and the 7o othertwo sections D D2 and D3 D4 are separated from each other on the line ofperforation B3, and the section numbered l to 25 is placed upon thesection numbered 26 to 50, when the pile will be numbered 75 from l to50 consecutively. The pile of loose leaves are then placed into a holderand used in the usual manner.

The separated book used as a record-book consists of twenty-tive leaves,but is attached 8o to its holder in a reversible manner, so that bothsidesof the leaves can be used, thus taking but half the paper usuallyrequired.

When the book is to be used for duplicates only, the. portion D need bemerely wide enough to accommodate the stitches or binding and becomes astub, which stub is numbered, however, and when separated from theleaves or sheets will serve to indicate the number of leaves that havebeen detached. 9o

When the book is given out to the salesman, the stub is retained in theoffice and indorsed with the number or name of the salesman to Whom thedetached leaves have been supplied, thus becoming a safeguard and checkagainst the salesman.

I-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-un l. A manifold memorandum-book,consistloo ingof a pile of leaves bound together at one end, each sheetdivided into five spaces by perforatons, the rst section consisting ot1one space numbered on both sides to become' a reversible book, and theother two sections each numbered consecutively from the first section ofthe first leaf through all the first sections and then through all thesecond sections to the second section of the last leaf, said sections tobe superposed one upon the other when separated, so that the numberswill come in consecutive order, substantially as set forth.

2. A manifold memorandum-book consisting of a pile of leaves boundtogether at one end, each sheet divided into five spaces byperforations, the first section consisting of one space numbered on bothsides to become FREDERICK M. TURCK.
